Waynesboro Pride 6th Grade Selection

November 1, 2025 – 09:45 PM

First, the booster club would like to congratulate the following for being selected to the Waynesboro Boys Pride 6th Grade team.      But in addition to that we would like to stress that this was a very difficult selection because there was so many that did really well at the tryout.     I know there will be many very disappointed kids, but please make sure they know they should be very proud as well because they really gave their best.     I would highly suggest to register for the YMCA league and continue to work on getting better.

Waynesboro Pride Selection Update 2

October 30, 2025 – 08:15 PM

Team selections are now trending towards not being done until this weekend.    Our number 1 issue right now is we are having a difficult time in finding coaches for the 4th and 5th grade teams.   We are working on it but have been unsuccessful to this point.  If you are interested and/or know of someone please reach out to coach Hoffman or coach Davis.   In addition with tomorrow being Halloween, we are hesitant.  We know there are anxious kids but we don't want to rush things either.  If you have any questions feel free to reach out.  Thank you for your patience.

Quick Update on Team Selections - Team selections have not been made.  We are still working through them.

We are also still working on getting coaches for the 4th and 5th grade teams.   We reached out to some very good individuals who unfortunately are not able to do it.  If you are interested or know of someone please reach out to Coach Hoffman or Coach Davis.  Thanks.

Message from Booster Club Regarding Team Selections

The booster club wished to pass along a message to all players who tried out for our Pride teams, especially for those who may not have made it this year.

Thank you for participating in the selection process for the WBA youth basketball travel teams.    Please know that it was a very competitive tryout and making these decisions is never easy.  The Waynesboro YMCA and other area organizations offer recreational basketball programs and we encourage your child to continue building his skills and to consider trying out in the future.


Waynesboro Basketball Association (WBA)

In 2009 it was decided that the WBA had a such a good inaugural season that it would expand to not only promote youth team but would encompass the Middle School and High School boys teams as well. In October 2014, the girls booster club merged into the WBA as well.  The primary purpose of the WBA is to promote the development of athletic and leadership skills of the most promising and committed basketball players attending a school in the Waynesboro Area School District. This will be accomplished by stressing good sportsmanship, honesty, loyalty and respect for authority. A secondary but as important purpose will be to set a direction of how to go about winning that will eventually be fully executed at the middle school and more importantly high school level. It is not the purpose of this association to stress winning and losing at the youth level, but what steps and skills are needed in order to accomplish the ultimate goal of this association which is success, winning, at the high school level. Direction of the program will be set in conjunction with the high school program and may be dictated and/or changed by the high school varsity head coach.
